THE ELECTION OF DELEGATRs
The chair called attention to the fact that at
the next regular meeting the annual election OF
0fhcers would be held. There was some question
among the association as to the proper time for
eecting their delegates some associations elected
IN OCTOBER ana others IN November, and there was
no uniform plan. He thought that suggestion
might be made to the association to elect their
delegates before the annual election OF Officers OF
the representative committee. OF course this
could only come as suggestion. IL was matter
entlrely controlled by the association.
MT. Weller offered a resolution that the terms OF
all the delegates end on the nrst Tuesday In Oc-

Oeg1n on that day. The resolution further pro-
vlded that the association be strongly recon-
mended to elect again their present delegates.
Ihe resolution was laid On the table.
Mr.. john I. Mitchell gave notice that he would
oner an amendment changing the time OF holding
the election OF officers OF The committee from Oc-
tober to May. The committee then adjourned.

city. The other was thirty-nve-y ear-od Alfred IL.

while under heavy bail on the charge of arson.
After eleven years he was brought back to answer
for his alleged crime.
voIkmar was printer in the Star building 9TH
and Jayne streets. % May 1, 1873, lire broke
out In vOlkmar'5 once, and he collected the In
surance on the place. On the night OF January L,

floor was found q fuse filled with powder and
waste paper. The fuse ran from closet to the
center OF the floor There was $40, 600 Insurance
on the establishment, and Volkmar was arrested
by Fire Marshal Thompson on the charge OF arson.

stranger came to Millbank. He had been In the
town two days when he placed Editor Lewis under
arrest The stranger was Detective We'll, and he
said Lewis was wanted In Philadelphia for arson.
The news OF the arrest OF MilIbanK's most PROM

and there was the greatest excitement. His vile,
a lovely young woman, was overcome with gr1ef.
Voikmar, under his assumed name, had lived a
blameless life in Dakota, and his energy and H.
telugence had made him the idol OF the people OF
Grant County. As democratic politician lac had
the county seat OF Grant County removed to Mill
bank, and he had the brightest prospects before
him when the detective from the east appeared.
Nolkmar said he was willing to come back without

prisoner left Millbank the Whole town accom-

THE GRAvE-DIGGERs AT MEssrNA STRIKE AND THE
CORPSEs REMAIN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DEATHS
AT NAPLES AND ROME.
Rome Special Cable Dispatch to the World Sept 49,
Very unsatisfactory news reaches here from Mes
sina, where the cholera epidemic is declared to be
steadily increasing in violence. Nor Is the situa-
ton rendered better by the refusal Of the authori
ties to allow the real state OF affairs to be tee
graphed. 1t is, nevertheless, known that the
epidemic is OF the most violent description,
deaths frequently ensuing within an hour OF
the seizure. The mortality Is not confined
to the poorer classes, very many fatal cases
having taken place among the well-to-do. Great
misery prevails, and the general distress was in
creased On Friday last by the refusal OF the grave
dggers to continue their work. Coercive meas
ures had TO be resorted to by the authorities be-
fore the men would again take up their spades.
But eventually, after half days idlsness, during
which large numbers OF bodies remained unbur1ed,
the men were Induced to resume work. The cpl
dem1c has also broken out in the prisons. 1t is
difficult to obtain ythlng more than an approx
epidemic at Messina, but they seem latterly to
have averaged some twenty or thirty during the
twenty-four hours, the seizures being per-
haps three or four times as many. In the
Naples district there has also been an increase
during the past day or two. The latest re-
turns issued from Castel-a-Mare show thirty nine
cases and twenty deaths during the preceding
twenty-four hours, while at PoZzuou there have
been, during the same period, fourteen cases and
epidemic shows signs Of increasing In violence the
daily average OF cases being about forty. Here,
again, there is determined attempt to disguise
the truth. The newspapers-with one exception,
which, after publishing daily bulletin for some
time was, it Is said, br1bed into silence-do not
even mention the existence OF the epidemic, in the
hope OF reassur1ng the public. In consequence OF
the recent case at the Vatican the Pope has sus-
pended all audiences for the present. 1t is the
same with the pilgrimages from France and Swift
Zeriand which were to have taken place at the
beginning OF october, but have now been counter
manded The anxiety at the Vatican = addition
tnjure the celebration of the POpe's Jubilee.

BURIAL VS.. CRENATIoN.-The prejudice In favor
of inJerment in s0-called consecraIed ground Is a
very singular phenomenon In a partially civilized
age like the present. In the Dark Ages men sup
posed that when an ecclesiastical functionary had
pronounced a blessing on q certain piece OF land,
evil spirits would be unable to trespass on II.
What harm evil spirits could have done goodness
knows, but there was q prejudice against them.
No one in these days suppOses that after his de-
cease the powers or darkness win take the trouble
to play tricks with his remains yet the supersui-
ton about consecrated ground survives. Burial
GROUNDS are o mistake altogether. In populOus
places, cremation is the only rational process In
country districts 1t would be much better TO dis
perSe the dead here and there in convenient spots
AFTER the Chinese fashion, than to hudde them ali
together In church yards.
